Don't you want somebody to love??

Dooon't you need somebody to love! Wouldn't you love somebody to love ... you better find somebody to love! One of the best songs of my generation. Who remembers where it was first sung, and who sang it? This is my generation!!

Generation of free love, drugs, sex and rock n roll.. not old enough to even know what Woodstock was but that era was a stepping stone for rock music.. Gotta love it..

And pop culture, politics, war and non-conformism.

I love my kids, my cats, my alcoholic best friend, and sometimes my sister and sometimes myself. A person has only so much love to spread cause it's like jelly on toast, if the breads too big the jelly is too thin. I'm not sure what the hell I'm talking about.

"...and your mind, your mind is so full of red..." I never understood that line in the song. What does that mean?

I always thought it was dread, not red. But red means anger, so I guess that fits too.

@stomato okay, so it would be almost a protest song, the hippies need somebody to love, but society is turning their backs on them...

This is raw Grace Slick.

When the truth is found
To be lies
And all the joy
Within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love, love

Fucking love it! You can just hear it, can't you. That was her influence at that time!

Some days I just hope to love that goof I see in the mirror.

I'm more partial to this one:

Completely different song. I'm not really into Queen. Jefferson Airplane was a lot more raw and in your face. This song does not compare IMO!

@stomato I know it's a different song. I was just going by the title. It just reminded me of it. I like both, but I think Freddie Mercury was pretty much a musical genius. Even if only for Bohemian Rhapsody, but that's not the case.

@Piece2YourPuzzle Freddie was AMAZING. Beyond talented and able to touch so many generations. Too sad to lose him so early on.

Jefferson Airplane. Where? Don’t know.

This is Grace at her most real, her most raw! Thanks for sharing! Woodstock lives on!!

Good song. It's one of those songs that if you throw it in with a bunch of punk songs on rotation, no one complains. Along with those strange early Fleetwood Mac songs, like Green Manalishi With The Two Prong Crown. Songs written to play, not just to sell.

Oh yes I remember it brings back memories of a time I had very few worries but thought they were never going to be solved. No-one sings it like Grace.

"You better find somebody to love." Or what, no dessert?

I think it's more like no happiness! My opinion - it's all about your interpretation!

My generation, too... Grace Slick sang it, Jefferson Airplane was the band, is the only rendition I have ever heard, but am sure other bands have recorded it, too...She was incredibly hot, & had a great set of pipes... LOL... Well, that's what I thought when I was 13, anyhow....
